“We were pleased to deliver our fifth consecutive quarter of revenue growth and see this as a positive indication of successful execution of our strategic plan. Further, the growth from the data center services segment, particularly bolstered by growth from the hosting service lines, is further evidence of the benefits from the Voxel acquisition,” said Eric Cooney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Internap. “As we continue into the second half of 2012, the Internap team continues to diligently pursue opportunities to accelerate the profitable growth of the business and is keen to lay the foundation for a successful 2013.”

Additionally, Internap has appointed Kevin Dotts as Chief Financial Officer effective August 30, 2012. Dotts will report directly to Eric Cooney and will oversee Internap’s financial operations, information technology, investor relations and facilities organizations.

Dotts joins Internap with 25 years of financial leadership experience spanning a range of industries including telecommunications and internet services, energy, and broadcast and cable media. He has served as Chief Financial Officer at EarthLink and Culligan International Company and spent 15 years in progressively senior positions at General Electric after successfully completing GE’s financial management program. “We are very pleased to announce the appointment of Kevin Dotts as our Chief Financial Officer,” said Cooney. “Kevin’s experience as a seasoned, public-company Chief Financial Officer, combined with his intimate familiarity with the IT services business, positions him well to hit the ground running as a key member of Internap’s executive leadership team.”

Second Quarter 2012 Financial Summary

Revenue

  • Revenue totaled $68.7 million compared with $60.4 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $67.0 million in the first quarter of 2012. Revenue from data center services increased year-over-year and sequentially. IP services revenue decreased compared with the second quarter of 2011 and slightly increased sequentially.
  • Data center services revenue improved 28 percent year-over-year and 4 percent sequentially to $41.5 million. The majority of this year-over-year revenue increase was attributable to organic growth in the data center services segment, but was also positively impacted by the fourth quarter 2011 acquisition of Voxel. The sequential increase was supported by higher revenue per net sellable square foot and increased occupancy.
  • IP services revenue decreased 3 percent year-over-year and increased 0 percent sequentially to $27.2 million. The year-over-year decrease was driven by per unit price declines in IP. The sequential increase was driven by non-recurring IP equipment sales.

Net (Loss) Income

  • GAAP net loss was $(2.0) million, or $(0.04) per share, compared with GAAP net loss of $(2.6) million, or $(0.05) per share, in the second quarter of 2011 and GAAP net income of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per share, in the first quarter of 2012.
  • Normalized net income, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense and items that management considers non-recurring, was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share. Normalized net loss was $(0.3) million, or $(0.01) per share, in the second quarter of 2011. Normalized net income was $1.6 million or $0.03 per share, in the first quarter of 2012.

Segment Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

  • Segment profit totaled $36.0 million in the second quarter, an increase of 21 percent year-over-year and 0 percent sequentially. Segment margin was 52.5 percent, increasing 310 basis points compared with the second quarter of 2011. Segment margin decreased 100 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2012.
  • Segment profit in data center services was $18.8 million, or 45.4 percent of data center services revenue. IP services segment profit was $17.2 million, or 63.3 percent of IP services revenue. An increasing proportion of higher-margin services, specifically colocation sold in company controlled data centers and hosting services, benefited data center services segment profit compared with the second quarter of 2011. Higher seasonal power costs drove a decrease in data center segment profit compared with the first quarter of 2012. Data center services segment margin increased 620 basis points year-over-year and decreased 210 basis points sequentially to 45.4 percent. IP services segment profit increased 1 percent compared with the second quarter of 2011. Sequentially, IP segment profit increased 2 percent. Lower network costs primarily contributed to the year-over-year and sequential increases in segment margins. IP services segment margin increased 210 basis points year-over-year and increased 90 basis points sequentially to 63.3 percent.
  • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $12.2 million in the second quarter, a 19 percent increase compared with the second quarter of 2011 and flat relative to Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.7 percent in the second quarter of 2012, up 70 basis points year-over-year and a decrease of 60 basis points sequentially. Higher operating costs in the second quarter were more than offset by improved segment profit relative to the second quarter of 2011. Sequentially, an increase in cash operating expenses related to our brand awareness program and Voxel integration fees outweighed the quarter-over-quarter increase in segment profit.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement

  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $27.6 million at June 30, 2012. Total debt was $119.3 million, net of discount, at the end of the quarter, including $47.6 million in capital lease obligations.
  • Cash generated from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $6.6 million. Capital expenditures over the same period were $22.7 million.
